ALASKA MARINE CONSERVATION COUNCIL

FISCAL YEAR 2021

Dear Friends, After a season of stillness and introspection, I relish the collective chatter of northern communities, human and more-than-human, finding themselves inextricably involved in the resurgence of spring, anticipating the abundance of energy to come. Filled with this zeal, I offer you Alaska Marine Conservation Council’s Impact Report on the momentum our organization has carried over our last fiscal year, thanks to our talented staff and your invaluable support. As a grassroots organization, you’ll see that we continue to center the importance of place-based stewardship in our programs and advocacy. Whether you are an AMCC member who advocated for Bering Sea halibut bycatch reductions, a Catch 49 customer who supports the small-scale harvesters and short-chain food systems that keep Alaska’s ecosystems healthy or a Business Member who values the vibrancy of our coastal communities (or all three!) - we are stronger together. As you reflect on the work that's highlighted in the pages of this report, I invite you to imagine the potential of what we are growing together - a mindful coalition of stewards working toward a common mission: to protect and promote the integrity of Alaska’s marine ecosystems and the health of ocean-dependent communities. As this planet responds to our inputs, be they disruptive or regenerative, and we co-evolve in response, I find strength in trusting that people like you and those featured in this report will continue raising your voices to honor the sanctity of our ocean home. Thank you for inspiring us and joining us. With Gratitude,

Marissa Wilson Executive Director
